Safe Sister: The East African Women’s Digital Safety Fellowship 2019

Safe sister is pleased to announce the 3rd round of the women’s digital safety fellowship program starting March 2019.

Two years ago, we started the work of building a community of
tech-savvy East African women ready to stand up and defend digital
rights and digital safety while fighting online harassment in their
communities. Since then 21 amazing women from Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi,
Uganda, Ethiopia, Sudan, South Sudan and Tanzania have been trained to
play an important role in their communities as digital security mentors!

We are excited to announce the expansion of this unique group of
women. We are looking for creative, self-motivated and dependable women
who want to take their digital safety skills and online activism to the
next level – inviting women human rights defenders from Burundi,
Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan,
Tanzania, and Uganda to apply.
